Not really. We get between 12-14 mpg depending on the terrain with it on cruise at 65 MPH. If I take it off cruise we manage 14 on flat land most of the time. The 4:30 is great for being able to use cruise and being able to relax some. The transmission does not downshift all the time like our other trucks would that we were not ever able to use cruise and had to peddle them up and down hills or overpasses.
381hp and 401 ft lb make for a great tow package. All 5.7 come with the tow package, factory brake controller, 38 Gallon fuel tank and at least 9500 tow capacity depending on the cab you get.
Great truck! I know some on here will say it has to be from the big 3.
